Chapter 598 - Connections

Two days past peacefully into J's surprise. She thought that something was off. She could also sense the grave atmosphere around Arthur's Team while Jacob has been overly possessive these past few days.

He has been urging her not to go out of the mansion for a couple of days, but as stubborn as she is, she still insisted saying that she'll die of boredom in the mansion. Jacob has been with her for almost 24 hours except for when she is inside the Department of Surgery. But once in a while, Jacob would still drop by even thou he could easily see her if he went to the control room where Arthur's Team is watching her.

Jacob has been staying at the CLP Hospital and will only leave after J's duty. He never goes to Twelve Army or to other hospitals under the CLP Group of Hospitals.

Arthur's Team kept its position in the lobby of the Department of Surgery and every four hours they would change position with the two men from the control room.

Once in a while, some members of Novus Rex would be spotted inside and outside the hospital.

J has been feeling queasy these past days not because of nervousness but because of the presence of a lot of security watching around for her. Thou they tried to conceal themselves, nothing could be passed by J's keen eyes.

Based on her observation there were two to three members of the Novus Rex strolling around inside the hospital while there were no less than five of them around the hospital. And once she gets out of the hospital more or less ten of them would follow her.

Surprisingly, Jacob didn't do anything about it. He said that as long as they won't get near her, he'll pretend that they don't exist.

Jacob's men who were around twenty were scattered where ever she is trying to remain unnoticed, maybe for others but not for J. She still thinks that it is exaggerated.

She also finds out Professor Iris Parham is in charge of watching over her via satellite. Apparently, there was a team of computer experts under Professor Iris.

There were suspicious numbers that were attempting to communicate to J and trace her location through her phone but Professor Iris's Team managed to block them and trace the location where it comes from. They already send someone to that place but found it to be abandoned already.

The day that Molly, the assassins the Senator hired from Alex Ogden arrived, someone already tried to hack into the CLP Hospital's CCTV probably trying to get live footage of the heiress. They were planning on how to get her by studying her everyday routine.

But fortunately, Professor Iris's team noticed it and was able to block the attempt. Since then, Professor Iris's team is on strict watch over the CCTV cameras inside the hospital or around the place where J is.

Arthur's Team and Professor Iris's team work hand-in-hand and they kept their communication open in order to protect the heiress. While Novus Rex does their own way of protecting her.

"There were two to three suspicious men around the hospital but they didn't do anything." Professor Iris said.

Jacob and Arthur's Team were having a video conference with Professor Iris and President Martin in the control room inside the mansion.

"They are planning out," Jacob said in a grave tone.

"That's what I've been thinking as well. And these men were not from Alex Ogden." Professor Iris said.

"She is obviously utilizing all of her resources." Arthur leaned back to his chair with his arms crossed in front of him.

"Are they from the military?" Jacob asked. The creases on his forehead have deepened.

"No, I don't see anyone from the military as of now." Professor Iris leaned closer to the monitor.

"I don't think that she'll ask the help of the military just yet. As much as possible, their family will try to keep this to themselves in the meantime, but if the situation requires it. They will eventually contact their connections in the military." President Martin analyzes the situation based on how he knows of the Senator's family.

The Paz family has its connections in the military. For years serving the government, they had already made 'friends' in the military. They first find illicit activities that some of the military officials hide under their covers and used this information so that they could make these officials wag their tail into them.

The Paz family promised to protect these unlawful officials and even support them in the future. In return, these officials oath their loyalty to the Paz family and even promised that when the time comes that they will need them, they will support and utilize all their resources for the Paz family.
